Thailand faces escalating heart and cardiovascular disease crisis
So sad. I know several Thais going through similar predicaments, suffering in silence. But I see hundreds of comments of vax-injured Thais on social media which indicate deep bitterness towards their employers and government. -

You don’t need roads, potable water, a fire department or electricity? Is there a country in the world where all these services are pay as you go? -

Proposal Needed for Legal Revisions to Foreign Land Leases
What nonsense, they should do what every other country has done when making new laws in the entire history of the modern world. Take a few examples which have been in place and working in other countries for centuries without major problems, combine and customise them to suit any local 'issues' and copy them. -

That attitude is what lost Hillary 2016. It's typical of the Dems. They ooze contempt for the very people that make modern life possible. -

Is street food good for you? Old rancid oil. Cheap oil. Food dripping with oil.
I shall continue to use Rice Bran oil for frying in, and Coconut if I am going to consume the food it is cooked in. Both of these oils, I guess, are made here and not shipped halfway round the World like Olive and Canola oils.- 1

Colourful Jellyfish Invade Jomtien Beach: Tourists Advised to Stay Cautious
I don't know about those in the Op. ( my post was a bit of a joke ) But I have eaten jelly fish here with my wife and step daughter. All a bit tasteless to me, but they love it. But I don't know where they come from, maybe outside of Thailand. -

List from best to worst all the cooking oils. ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Here’s a general ranking of common cooking oils from best to worst based on their health benefits, fat composition, and cooking properties. Keep in mind that "best" and "worst" are relative terms, as the healthiness of an oil depends on factors like cooking temperature, dietary needs, and overall consumption. Best to Worst Cooking Oils 1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Best for: Low to medium-heat cooking, dressings, drizzling Benefits: High in monounsaturated fats (MUFAs), rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy. Smoke Point: ~375°F (190°C) 2. Avocado Oil Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, grilling), dressings Benefits: High in MUFAs, rich in vitamin E, improves heart health. Smoke Point: ~520°F (270°C) 3. Coconut Oil (Unrefined) Best for: Medium-heat cooking, baking, sautéing Benefits: Contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which may improve metabolism and provide quick energy. Some antimicrobial properties. Smoke Point: ~350°F (177°C) 4. Canola Oil Best for: Medium to high-heat cooking (frying, sautéing) Benefits: High in MUFAs, low in saturated fats, and contains omega-3 fatty acids. Budget-friendly. Smoke Point: ~400°F (204°C) 5. Rice Bran Oil Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, stir-frying) Benefits: Rich in oryzanol, antioxidants, MUFAs, and PUFAs, lowers bad cholesterol, high smoke point. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 6. Ghee (Clarified Butter) Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, sautéing) Benefits: High in saturated fats, rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and may support gut health. Smoke Point: ~485°F (252°C) 7. Sunflower Oil (High Oleic) Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, roasting) Benefits: High in MUFAs and vitamin E, reduces cholesterol levels. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 8. Sesame Oil (Unrefined) Best for: Low to medium-heat cooking, flavoring, dressings Benefits: Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, adds a distinct flavor to dishes. Smoke Point: ~350°F (177°C) 9. Peanut Oil Best for: High-heat cooking (frying, stir-frying) Benefits: Rich in MUFAs, stable at high temperatures, commonly used for frying. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 10. Walnut Oil Best for: Low-heat cooking, drizzling, dressings Benefits: High in omega-3 fatty acids, anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy, but unstable at high heat. Smoke Point: ~320°F (160°C) 11. Flaxseed Oil Best for: No-heat applications (drizzling, dressings) Benefits: Extremely rich in omega-3 fatty acids, great for heart and brain health, but unstable for cooking. Smoke Point: ~225°F (107°C) 12. Grapeseed Oil Best for: Medium-heat cooking, dressings Benefits: Rich in vitamin E and PUFAs, moderate smoke point, but high in omega-6 fatty acids, which may promote inflammation in excess. Smoke Point: ~420°F (216°C) 13. Soybean Oil Best for: High-heat cooking Benefits: Rich in PUFAs, omega-6s, and vitamin E. However, high omega-6 content can lead to an imbalance in fatty acids. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 14. Corn Oil Best for: High-heat cooking (frying) Benefits: Inexpensive, widely used, but high in omega-6 fatty acids and can promote inflammation if consumed in large quantities. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) 15. Vegetable Oil (Generic) Best for: High-heat cooking (frying) Benefits: Inexpensive and widely available, but often highly processed, made from a blend of oils (like soybean, corn, and canola), and high in omega-6 fatty acids. Smoke Point: ~400°F (204°C) 16. Palm Oil Best for: Medium to high-heat cooking (frying, baking) Benefits: Contains some beneficial nutrients like carotenoids, but high in saturated fats, and the environmental impact of palm oil production is significant. Smoke Point: ~450°F (232°C) Worst (Less Healthy) 17. Margarine/Shortening Best for: Baking Concerns: High in trans fats (unless labeled as trans-fat-free), which are linked to heart disease, inflammation, and other health issues. Key Points to Consider: Monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) (found in olive, avocado, and canola oils) are considered the most heart-healthy. Polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) (found in sunflower, grapeseed, and soybean oils) are beneficial but should be balanced with omega-3s to avoid excessive omega-6 intake. Saturated fats (found in coconut oil, palm oil, and ghee) should be consumed in moderation. Trans fats (found in margarine and shortening) should be avoided due to their adverse health effects. For optimal health, it’s best to use oils with a good balance of healthy fats, low in processing, and appropriate for the cooking method. -

What time do you get up at?
You are wasting the best part of the day. Crikey, I've had breakfast, a dump, run 3km, had a few coffees and lunch before 11am. Whether I'm on holidays or working I'm up around 4am. Unless I'm out with the mates (seldom) nights, I'm asleep by 9pm. -
